Enjoy the unsurpassed beauty of Gemstone Globe Bookends…

The 4” Peridot Green Gemstone bookends are an exquisite piece of art! These remarkable bookends consist of a pair of complementary 4.5” diameter hemispheres, which together comprise a complete globe of our earth. Each bookend stands 4” high and is flattened on the bottom to ensure stability.

This beautiful set of book ends is studded with 192 semi-precious gemstones which colorfully represent individual countries. Obtained from locations scattered all around the world, every jewelry grade gemstone is meticulously hand cut and fitted to mirror the adjoining oceans and continents. The result of this extraordinary effort is an intricate mosaic of oceans, continents, and countries that display our world in a truly dazzling artistic composition.

The delicate green oceans are made from crushed and colored Mother of Pearl and Abalone shells rendered in a single, seamless expanse. Polished to a high gloss finish, the oceans appear to be cut from a single stone. Each hemisphere is dressed with delicate latitude and longitude lines that are 24K Gold, plated onto a durable brass ribbon core.

These heavy stone bookends are equally at home in traditional, classic, or ultra modern décor. Whether displayed in a bookcase or atop your desk, these extraordinary bookends will make the perfect accent to your book collection!
